Headlines
If you want to see some headlines at the beginning of your nc-code, you need to define a “Custom Cycle” as the first
operation. To do this please select Machining  Common Machining  Custom Cycle and choose Strings. There
you can type in your headlines (up to 10 lines of strings are possible).
Example:
( Test )
( customer XY )
( material: )
…
..
Custom String 1 – 5 are output as a comment and Custom String 6 – 10 are output not as a comment. This adds the
possibility to type in extra NC-code, BUT be very careful as this NC code can not be checked by the postprocessor!!!

G43 after G28

On some Haas controller software the length compensation (G43 H…) is cancelled by a G28 -retract. It has to be
enabled again by adding the line G43 H… after the retraction with G28. But this is not a default behavior. That’s
why you can set option G43 after G28 to Yes, if your controller loses the length compensation by G28.
Example:
…
G00 G91 G28 Z0 Retract with G28
G90
G00 A0 B0
G00 X-6. Y8.32
G43 H01 Z50. S3000 New length compensation
G00 Z2.
…
 Available with Addin.
Coolantcode
Coolant will be called after toolchange or delayed until G43 is output.
Axes combination
Old controls always need the rotary axes named with A and B, newer controls use the real names for the rotary
axis. You can select to always use A and B or the kinematic from the machine setup (AC ,BC ,A, B table).
Use Seperator
Output of additional lines for better reading.
D Register
D Register value is set by tool or by operation( if available)
Unwind
Unwind the round table
Angle>360 degrees
5X operations
Never
Example:
(4th AXIS UNWIND)
G00 G53 Z0.
G91 G28 B0
G90
Home Position
The Home Position is needed for retraction for tool change. The default values are X-709, Y-202, Z-70.
If you do not define the Home Position, the postprocessor will automatically output the default values.
Example:
…
G00 G53 Z-70.
G00 G53 X-709. Y-204.
T2 M06
…
You can find further information in chapter “Go to a safe position for tool change“.
Safe Position
Define a Safe Position X / Y / Z where the tool shall move to when the ration axes are tilted or for a safe positioning
in 5 axis simultaneous operations.
An input value of -999 suppresses the respective axis. If all values are -999 and a rotary axis moves to a new position
without a tool change before, the postprocessor outputs the line G0 G91 G28 Z0. In this case the Z axis moves to its
tool change position before the rotation.
With the option Safe Retract you can choose between Default and After each operation.
After each operation means that the tool moves at the end of each operation to a safe position, although the next
operation is done by the same tool.
Go to a safe position before axes rotation
If the angles of one or both rotary axes change and there is no tool change before that rotation, the post
automatically generates code to go to a safe position before the axes get positioned. The position that will be
programmed can be influenced by Custom String 7, 8 and 9. The post checks the machine setup and outputs an
error message is no safe position is set. If you do not want to go to a safe position before rotating the axes you can
set -999. If all three values are set to -999 the post uses G28 (G0 G91 G28 Z0) to go to the Z-Home position in case
of a rotary move without tool change.
Go to a safe position after each operation
If you want a safe retract in Z after every operation you can set Custom String 4 to 1.
The post outputs always a G53 with the safe Z coordinate in this case.
Table Endpostion
Output G29G91 Y0 at end of program.
Tool Change
The picture shows the default settings of several options.
Tool List
If you want a list of all used tools at the beginning of the NC program, set option Tool List to At PGM Start.
Example:
O00001 ( )
(18.03.2014 13:57:31)
(T26 - BM_HM04)
(T20 - BM_HM20)
Preset Tool
The option Preset Tool contains the following choice:
Preset and repeat Tool Number  After tool call a further T –call with the number of the next tool
follows,
but without M06.
Only preset Tool  Only the first tool change gets a tool preset.
No  There is no tool preset.
T20 M06 (FM 2 IN) T20 M06 (FM 2 IN) T20 M06 (FM 2 IN)
(FACE MILL) (FACE MILL) (FACE MILL)
T21 T21 ...
... ... (--------------------------)
(--------------------------) (--------------------------) T21 M06 (BM 1 IN)
T21 M06 (BM 1 IN) M06 (BM 1 IN)
M01 Stop
An additional stop before each tool change (Stop before TC) or after each operation (Stop after Operation) is
selectable. By default there is no stop.
If Stop after operation is used the post will output coolant and speed before the next rapid move.
Go to a safe position for tool change
Depending on the setup you choose for Movement X, Y, Z in the Tool setup you will get different movements before
tool change. You can go to the home position, to a machine position or to a position in the local coordinate system.
But it is also possible to set the setup to None.
Since the HOME position in ESPRIT is the Tool change position but on the machine the G28 position is on the
upper right side and the tool change is on the upper left side, the post doesn’t use G28 for the HOME position as
default. If HOME is chosen the post generates the following lines:
Metric: Inch:
G00 G53 Z-70. G00 G53 Z-2.75

G00 G53 X-709. Y-204. G00 G53 X-27.9 Y-8.3
M09 M09
This also happens if HOME is used in a parking cycle. The values for the Home position can be changed in Custom
setting 1, 2 and 3 of the machine configuration.
The setting Toolchange Position in the toolbox machine setup switch between G53 and G28 G91 for the output.

With the option Additional HOME position you can output an additional Home Position after each tool change (After
TC) or only before the first tool change (Before first TC) or both.
Feed Settings
Feed for Rot. Axes Pos

If you want to position the rotary axes with G01 and use the feed rate of the operation instead of G00 (rapid move),
set option Feed for Rot. Axes Pos. to 1. If you want G01 and a different feed rate, please enter the feedrate value.
With the default setting 0 the positioning of the rotary axes is done by G00 (rapid move).
Rapid Moves
With the option Rapid Moves you can select whether rapid moves should be output with G00, with G01 and F9999
or with G01 and the rapid rate from machine setup.
Machine Setup  Assembly  Head:
Feed out in TC sequence
If you do not want a feed output in the technology block after tool call, set option Feed out in TC sequence to No.
The default setting is Yes.
Example: Feed out in TC sequence = No Example: Feed out in TC sequence = Yes

Use Inverse Feed (G93)

If you enable the option Use Inverse Feed (G93) with Yes, a new input box appears for defining the Max. Inverse
Feed.
Max. Inverse Feed

If you do not define a value for Max. Inverse Feed, the postprocessor adopts 200000 as maximum inverse feed value.
You can find further information in chapter “Inverse feed rate for simultaneous operations“.
Inverse feed rate for simultaneous operations
It is possible to use inverse federate (G93). This can be activated by custom setting 8 of the machine configuration.
If this parameter gets set to 1 or to 93 inverse feed is set for all simultaneous operations. If you only want to use
inverse feed rate for a single operation than you can set Custom Setting 8 of the operation to 1 or to 93.
Output could look like this:

Feed rate has to be output in every line in case of inverse feed.
Reduce feed rate for prepositioning of rotary axes

If you want to use a feed rate move G01 for the first positioning of rotary axes instead of a rapid move G0 you can
set Custom Setting 6 of the machine configuration to 1.

Use feed moves instead of rapid moves

You can choose whether you want to use G00 for rapid movements or G01 with a high feed rate. Set Custom
Setting 7 of the machine configuration to 1 and the post outputs automatically G01 and a feed rate for rapid
moves. Set custom setting 7 =2 to use the feedrate of the Machine setup

Tilting Working Plane
The Haas control does not support or does not have the option to calculate zero points if the axes are rotated. With
Tilting Working Plane you can select to use the macro P9007 for calculating the zero point shifting. The macro files
are delivered with the postprocessor.
This macro is a subprogram to calculate the zero-point shifting in dependence of the tilting angles by the help of #-
parameters. This subprogram stays unmodified and will be stored on your controller. It is prepared depending on
the machine kinematic together with the postprocessor.
Supported kinematic:
You can find further information in chapter “Working with controller macro P9007“.
If the number is already used on your machine you can change the macro call of the postprocessor. Please take
care that you change the macro file too, to fit to the number you will use.

 Please take care to copy the new macros! The macros 9007 are fully compatible with the existing macros
9009. Because of used parameters some variables are renamed. In the case you update the Haas
Postprocessor please update the macro at your control too. This version of the postprocessor call macro
9007 – older versions call macro 9009.
Working with Work coordinates
Work Coordinate Settings
Since the HAAS machine control does not have a RTCP/TCPC functionality (Rotate Tool Centre Point/ Tool Centre
Point Control) the postprocessor can use a control macro to calculate the new zero point when rotary axes get
moved. If you want to use this macro you have to activate it in the machine configuration. Go to the machine setup
inside ESPRIT and set Custom String 10 to 1 (See Working with controller macro P9007). If you do not want to use
the control macro you have to set the exact situation of your machine in ESPRIT (See Working without controller
macro P9007).
All simultaneous operations need to be in a work coordinate system where Rotate with part is set to None
Working with controller macro P9007
If macro P9007 is used it’s possible to work with several zero points and Machining  Common Machining 
Machine Setup  General  Coordinate System has to be Local. The macro moves the chosen zero point to the
location where it gets moved because of the axes rotation. This is our recommended way of working.
All 3+2 axes operations have to be in a work coordinate system where Rotate with part is set to Point only or Point
and Orientation.
If you choose Point and orientation the zero point and the plane match exactly your NC output. If you choose Point
only the zero point matches exactly your NC output, but the coordinate system does not get rotated. After table
rotation the coordinate system matches XYZ machine coordinate. For both settings the NC output is correct, so it
just depends on your preferences.
With our HAAS Generic Postprocessor we provide you four different NC code files containing the needed control
macros. You have to choose the proper one matching your machine kinematics of your HAAS machines. We do
support 4 axis (mounted as A- or B-axis setup) and 5 axis (mounted as A&C- or B&C-setup). Independent from your
used machine the macro file name always needs to be renamed to 9007.NC as this is the name of the control macro
we call within our created NC code files. This macro handles the calculation of the local work offsets by using
parameters of your HAAS machine tool and stores them into the parameters G154 P19 of your controller.

Working without controller macro P9007
If macro P9007 is not used the zero point moves with the rotation, but the machine doesn’t know about it. For that
reason you have to set the exact position of you part in the machine configuration.
Machining  Common Machining  Machine Setup  General  Coordinate System has to be World. The
postprocessor checks whether the correct settings are used.
Example:
Center of rotation of primary axis = P1 Center of rotation of secondary axis = P2
ESPRIT-zero point = zero point of part for example G54
Let’s pretend P1 has the coordinates X0, Y100 and Z-150 in relation to XYZ – ESPRIT zero (G54) and P2 has X0, Y100
Z-100. In this case the settings in the machine configuration have to look like shown on the next page.

G187 Setting the Smoothness Level

G187 is an accuracy command that can set and control both the smoothness and max corner rounding value when
cutting a part. The format for using G187 is G187 Pn Ennnn.
P - Controls the smoothness level, P1(rough), P2(medium), or P3(finish). Temporarily overrides Setting 191.
E - Sets the max corner rounding value. Temporarily overrides Setting 85.
G187 will be canceled whenever RESET is pressed, M30 or M02 is executed, the end of program is reached, or
EMERGENCY STOP is pressed.

Summary of custom settings in the machine setup
Custom Setting 1 X-Home Position, Default: metric: -709 inch: 27.9

Custom Setting 2 Y-Home Position, Default: metric: -204 inch: -8.3
Custom Setting 3 Z-Home Position, Default: metric: -70 inch: -2.75
Custom Setting 4 = 0  No line/block numbering
= 1  Line/block number output with Tool Call, and with operation start
without tool calls.
Custom Setting 5 = 0  Repeat Tool for tool change (T2 M06). Preset of next tool
= 1  Tool only gets output with the first Tool change, because it is preset
after then.
= -1  No preset  Tool gets set in M06 line
Custom Setting 6 = 1  Positioning of rotary axes with G01 and feed from operation
= 0  Positioning of rotary axes with G00 (rapid move)
= any other value  Positioning of rotary axes with G01 and this feed value
Custom Setting 7 = 1  rapid moves will be output with G01 and F9999
= 0  rapid moves with G00
= 2  rapid moves will be output with G01 and Feed from machine setup
Custom Setting 8 = 1 or = 93  Inverse Feed for simultaneous operations
= 0  “normal” output of feed (G94)
This also works if custom setting 8 of the operation gets set.
Custom Setting 9 = 1  circle output with center coordinates I, J, K
= 0  circle output with radius
Custom Setting 10 = 1  No feed output in TC sequence
= 0  Feed output in TC sequence
Custom String (String) 1 = GERMAN  comments will be output in German

= ENGLISH  comments will be output in English
= FRENCH  comments will be output in French
Custom String (String) 2 Spindle Stop for Tool Change
Custom String (String) 3 = 1 Output Tool list at program start
Custom String (String) 4 =1 Go to a Safe Z position after EVERY operation
Custom String (String) 5 Max. Inverse Feed
Custom String (String) 6 M0 Stop: =0  no Stop; =1  M0 before TC; =2  M0 after operation
Custom String (String) 7 Safe X – position, See Go to a safe position before axes rotation
Custom String (String) 8 Safe Y – position, See Go to a safe position before axes rotation
Custom String (String) 9 Safe Z – position, See Go to a safe position before axes rotation
Custom String (String) 10 = 1  Use macro 9009 for zero point rotation
See Working with controller macro P9009
Important are mainly the Custom Strings 7, 8 and 9 of your Machine Setup as you can store a safe position of your
machine tool there. This safe position will be used if you did a machining using your 4 th or 5th axis for indexing and
then doing a 5 axis simultaneous machining where your previous used work plane gets disabled. We move your
tool to a safe position before your axis gets reset to 0.
